Postgraduate Development

Following feedback from our 2019 Postgraduate Research (PGR) student survey, we are improving support for our PGR students.

• We have prepared Departmental guidelines for PGR supervisors.
• We are holding regular PGR/PGR tutor and PGR/PDRA coffee mornings.
• We are establishing a careers programme for PGR students.
• We organised a PhD thesis writing workshop for final PGR students (24/05/19) and termly ‘writing retreats’.
• We are revising our PGR recruitment process to ensure we keep our best UG and PGT students.

        + We are taking positive action to encourage our outstanding women UG/PGT students to apply for PGR studentships.

        + We have established a focus group to try and understand the reasons for low numbers of applications from women to PGR courses.

        + We are improving our admissions and interview processes and keep in touch with applicants following an offer.
